Special Counsel Robert Mueller's indictment of 13 Russian nationals and three Russian companies detailed how operatives infiltrated online communities and both organized and promoted real world events.
Business Insider has found nine political rallies now known to be the work of Russians to show examples of what foreign agents were able to do.
The rallies, which began in June 2016, took place both before and after the 2016 election, spanning New York, Florida, and North Carolina.
For instance:
The Russians used a Facebook group called "Being Patriotic," the Twitter account @March_for_Trump, and other social media accounts to organize a pro-Trump rally in New York called "March for Trump."
To promote the rally, the Russians purchased ads on Facebook and privately messaged people encouraging them to participate, even offering to reimburse some of their traveling expenses.
They also solicited support from a volunteer for the Trump campaign in New York, who agreed to supply the rallygoers with signs.

Shortly after the November vote, the Russians helped organize several pro-Trump rallies at the same time they organized anti-Trump protests, calling on people to object to the election results.
On November 12, the Russians helped coordinate an anti-Trump rally that drew as many as 25,000 people, according to NBC News.
Fox News reported that Michael Moore, the prominent documentary filmmaker who strongly opposes Trump, attended that rally.
About a week later, the Russians organized a protest called "Charlotte Against Trump" in North Carolina.
These rallies represented just a fraction of the dozens of other rallies that took place in cities across the US after Trump's victory.
